Clients referred from the court for drug treatment are most commonly referred because they are being granted a chance to accept rehab instead of jail time, other charges, fines, etc. While this is most common among first time offenders, it can happen at any point including while the person is being held in jail. There are various types of facilities that criminal justice clients might be referred to, and this depends on what is available in Harborside and the type of substance the person requires treatment for.
There are programs that work primarily with the criminal justice court system to treat this specific type of clientele, and are typically state or federally funded or are available at no cost or very little cost to the client. There are also private substance abuse rehabilitation facilities that may be authorized by the court if there is a specific type of treatment that the person requires or prefers that a state-funded program can't provide. The defendant's legal representation can push for such options to the judge for approval. There are even addiction rehabilitation programs that operate out of the correctional institutions themselves, where clients are sometimes in a better position for early release or other benefits when participating in substance abuse rehab services while serving their sentence for a drug offense or a DUI/DWI.
